Mr.. PowDERLY having given notice
that he will not under any
circumstances accept re-nom-
nation as Grand Master Work
man of the Knights of Labor, it be-
hooves that organization to proceed with
caution in selecting his successor. Mr..
Powderly has proved himself an excel
lent organizer and level-headed mod
orator. To him more than to any man
connected with the order is due the
credit of bringing the organization to its
present high attainment, and in keeping
il from dissolution through the disrupt
ing influence which would have beer
inoculated into 1t by socialists and an
archists. Mr.. Powderly Is one of those
quiet, unobtrusive men, endowed by
nature with mental stature which al
once commands respects from his as
sociates and subordinates. Accepting
the leadership of new organization o.
the magnitude of the Knights of Labor
with few defined ideas and no well con.
sidered plans, with an army of men
whose views we're strangely at variance
on many points of government. he
mastered the situation as perhaps no
other individual in the order could have
done, and succeeded in steering clear OF
the yiler element that has at different
times used such desperate means to
bring it to disgrace and ruin. Mr..
Powderly has brought credit upon the
order he has so earnestly labored for.
He has made 1t highly respectable or
ganization, and leaves 1t in fiourishing
condition, free from internal strife and
chickering's. He has richly earned the
gratitude of every honest member of the
Knights of Labor, and the respect and
confidence of the people of the entire
country.

Lidgerwood and the country around it.

wanted to know something about this
place, so will write you few lines in
regard to our friend G. /. Lidgerwood's
town in ID. 7. The town is located on a
beautiful, elevated piece of ground, just
high enough to be dry and nice. 1t is
located in the township of Park, in the
southwest corner of Richland county.
The first house in the place was built
last September, by Jacob Eckes. To-
day the town has two railroads, the Man
itoba and the Minneapolis & Pacific, two
hotels, two general stores, one hardware
store, one drug store, one meat market,
two agricultural implement warehouses,
one elevator, two grain warehouses, two
depots, one church and one school house
one livery stable, two lumber yards.
The inhabitants number about l25, so /
am told by the proprietor of the Central
Hotel
The business men seem to be wide.

then Dakota must be failure. And
